The two key programs are\u00a0<strong>SMBD (Server Message Block Demon)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>NMBD (NetBIOS Message Block Daemon).<\/strong> Main purpose of these two services is as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>File &amp; print services<\/li>\n<li>Authentication and Authorization<\/li>\n<li>Name resolution<\/li>\n<li>Service announcement (browsing)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Ephesoft\u2019s SharedFolders<\/strong> are <strong>network shared folders <\/strong>which can be accessed from different Ephesoft nodes in Multi-Cluster.
